One of my beach essential is a light, summer scarf. Living right next to the beach we seem to always have a cool breeze blowing so it rarely gets hot at the beach. I always take a wrap with my in case I get chilly. I think this scarf is a perfect accessory at the beach.
I just got a long piece of cotton. You don’t even need to sew it together. Just get your desired length/width from the fabric store or use a scarf that you already have that you might want to change the color up on. I used this RIT dye to create an extra long and skinny scarf.
I wanted to get a gradient effect on my scarf so this is how I do mine. Get two buckets next to one another. Put about 70% of one dye in one side and 30% in the other. (Follow the other instructions on the box in terms of water temperature, etc…) I dipped each end of my scarf in one side then teeter totter it back and forth. That way each end will come out a different color and the middle will be blended.
After drying I took each end and cut little strips to add fringes.
Then I tied them in little knots.
It’s a great way to stay warm against any cool breezes.
I’ve got more great beach day DIY’s coming!
